Gear Aid Buri Drop-Point Knife (Black)
Gear Aid Buri Drop-Point Knife (Black)
The Gear Aid Buri is a full-tang camp knife built around a 3-inch drop-point blade. The steel is 5Cr15 stainless with a titanium finish, and the edge runs plain near the tip for slicing and carving, then switches to serrations toward the handle for rope, webbing, and stubborn packaging. The black acetal handle keeps grip in wet hands, and the butt end has a built-in glass breaker.
At 3.7 oz on its own, or 5.7 oz seated in the hard sheath, the Buri rides light enough to forget you packed it. Overall length in the sheath is 8.06 in, so it stows flat against a pack or belt. Full tang means the steel runs the whole length of the handle — this is a cutting knife you can lean on for camp duty, not a pry bar.
Carry is the flexible part. The hard sheath has a removable belt clip, 1-inch MOLLE webbing slots, and a lanyard hole for neck carry. Clip it to a belt, lash it to a chest rig, or hang it under a jacket — same knife, three ways to keep it within reach.

What steel is the blade, and will it rust?
It's 5Cr15 stainless with a titanium finish. Stainless resists corrosion but isn't rustproof — rinse it and dry it after wet, salty, or food use and it'll stay clean.
Is the edge plain or serrated?
Both. The section near the tip is a plain edge for slicing and carving, and the section toward the handle is serrated for rope, webbing, and tough packaging.
How do I carry it?
Three ways. The hard sheath has a removable belt clip, 1-inch MOLLE webbing slots for a pack or chest rig, and a lanyard hole so you can hang it around your neck for hands-free access.
Is it full tang?
Yes. The steel runs the full length of the handle, so the blade and handle are one continuous piece. That's what lets it take camp-duty cutting loads.
Can I use it as a pry bar?
Skip it. A full-tang blade is tough, but the drop-point tip is made for cutting, not prying. Use it for slicing, carving, and food prep and it'll last.
How big and heavy is it?
The blade is 3 inches; overall length in the sheath is 8.06 inches. The knife weighs 3.7 oz on its own and 5.7 oz seated in the sheath.
Does the butt really break glass?
Yes — there's a hardened glass breaker on the butt of the handle for emergency exits. It also works for tapping tent stakes when you don't have a mallet handy.
